Correct. You've lost me.

Maslow defined it as aligning yourself with growth needs and outgrowing deficit needs. Find what inspires you and become a source of inspiration. Self-actualized people spend more time in states of flow in all aspects of their lives; less time worrying, more time creating.

Gotta have compassion for the spiritual bypassers too you know

I showed how it's inconsistent from the perspective of idealism. You said that a sense perception like the brain (form) correlates with other sense perceptions like experiences of faces (form), thus the brain creates consciousness (which is the perceptual+non-perceptual reality, or form+formlessness). Form correlates with form, which creates form and formlessness? ?

Yeah I thought about that.

Love.

Ah, he was originally a mathematician. That might explain it ? Process philosophy sounds interesting. Reminds me of Walter White's quote: "chemistry is the study of matter. But I prefer to see it as the study of change".

If you saw Leo's last announcement, you know it means "dummy."

Correlation between forms disproves the formless? How?

That's not true

Member and some invisible letter. It doesn't matter what the label is called. If you know what the label means, it essentially means "dummy".

Member.

Ah. I need the small brain label

I don't see what function it fulfills (the label).

No

Somebody posted this some time ago. It has a pretty good definition of evil.

It's mean.

I don't like it.

But exactly when does that happen? I see many people including myself who suffer but won't let go.

Budget pharmahuasca: chomp some oral DMT and chain smoke tobacco

When does one let go?

Knew it

I've talked about Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory a couple of times before, and it's by all means a great model. It's a so-called "contextual developmental theory", as it tries to explain psychological development by categorizing the contextual domains (e.g. social environments) that exist outside the individual: When most of you hear the word "developmental psychology", you most likely think about Spiral Dynamics or the 9 Stages of Ego Development (so-called "structural stage theories"), which are concerned with categorizing the temporal dimension of development, within the individual(s). Bronfenbrenner deals mostly with the interobjective domain (using Ken Wilber's Four Quadrants model), like social systems, but also some of the intersubjective domain (culture etc.). It's therefore a type of sociological ecology (how individuals interact with different parts of society). On the other hand, structural stage models tend to be more focused on the subjective and intersubjective domain (mind, cognition, beliefs, values etc.). This made me think of an idea: what would an "ecology of mind" look like? In other words, instead of modelling the relationships between different structures of society, what about modelling the relationships between different structures of mind? Now, what do I mean by structures of mind? Well, a good measurement of that would be everything that falls under the subjective or intersubjective dimensions in Wilber's 4 quadrants. We only need to find some suitable categories. Here is an example of what that could look like: The model works very similarly to Bronfenbrenner's model, but instead of thinking of the circles as directness of influence on the individual, it's rather about how fundamental they are to the structure of the mind. For example, perception and cognition is more fundamental and give rise to philosophy and religion, just like these things give rise to morality, which gives rise to politics etc. Maybe the premise is futile and there is too much overlap between each domain, but it's nevertheless an interesting concept. If it's done accurately, it can be used as a road map for understanding the mind and predicting behavior (and as a springboard for psychological research). Please share which main categories (the ones in bold letter) you think should be on there!

I mean, yes. That is why we need better categories
